==== Early Years ====
 
El Dorado was first surveyed in [[2236]]<ref name=AToW374-375/> and during the late [[twenty-third century|twenty-third]] and early [[twenty-fourth century|twenty-fourth centuries]] became an important enough trading partner to nearby [[New Avalon]] that [[Jerome Davion]], son of [[Adam Davion]], served as the New Avalon ambassador to El Dorado from [[2297]] to [[2306]]. El Dorado was vital to the commercial empire being built by Adam Davion and [[Nathan DuVall]] and which laid much of the groundwork for the future [[Federated Suns]].<ref name="HD(TFS)p20"/>

====Succession Wars====
+
==== Succession Wars ====
During the [[First Succession War]], a raid by the [[Draconis Combine]] left El Dorado's JumpShip yards in ruin. Similar actions against merchant fleets stifled interstellar trade across the Inner Sphere, harming El Dorado's export-oriented economy. Businesses immediately began cropping up to supply these vital components which had been imported previously, giving El Dorado the ability to be nearly self-sufficient. However, the trauma of the Kuritan raid led El Dorado to minimize its involvement in industries targeted by the early Succession Wars, like JumpShip and BattleMech production, in order to make the world less of a target. That policy continued until the mid-[[thirty-first century]], when El Dorado began manufacturing the [[Warlord]].<ref name=TRO3075p88/>

El Dorado was largely untouched and unaffected by the [[Second Succession War]] and became a key technological player for the Federated Suns throughout the [[Third Succession War]] by supplying key components of [[twenty-fifth century]] technology to factories throughout the realm.

=== Geography ===
El Dorado has six continents named San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Monterrey, and Durango.<ref name=AToW374-375/><ref name=O:FSp14/> Roughly fifteen percent larger than [[Terra]] and with higher surface gravity, El Dorado has a lot of arable land thanks to the "Super Lakes," large freshwater lakes found on Los Angeles and San Diego. Due to life cycle of the planet, El Dorado’s core temperature is slightly hotter than that of Earth’s which causes increased tectonic action.  Over the many centuries of colonization, the populace has steered clear of the worst volcano and quake zones. El Dorado has one moon, known as Boulder, which appears silver and sapphire due to a dense nitrogen-carbon dioxide atmosphere and a global ocean<ref name=AToW374-375/>
